DD is 9 now and she's always been quirky. She spoke very young and was extremely articulate and expressive...but had selective mutism from between ages 4 and 7...at 7 I changed her school and she gradually gained more confidence.
She would talk to her peers but not any adults who were not in her immediate family.
She has always maintained friendships well and is now quite popular but she's extremely sensitive to words...certain words make her skin crawl is the best way I can put it and as a little thing she had noise sensitivity.
what I'm wondering is how to help her physically....she's just started gymnastics and runs in the weirdest way...like she's holding herself back...she's also got a tendancy to overeat and now has a little belly...she's not fat anywhere else but I'm going to have to crack down harder with crisps etc.
When she first went to her new school she wouldn;t join in at all but now has a good group of friends, invitations and is very happy there...academically she's grown plenty too...but watching her run this evening made me 
I thought she had come on so much and there she is running like a little oddball!
Is there anything I should do?
